Abstract :
Piezoelectricity was discovered by the brothers Curie in 1880. What started out as a scientific curiosity has grown to have very significant commercial importance. We sketch here some of the milestones of its history, a hit of its phenomenology, and conclude with some present applications and prospects for the future
